Seems like an instance of Betteridge’s Law, so long as there’s a camera ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Betteridge%27s_law_of_headline... ) Although I do agree with the other commenter who says that, sans camera, there’s

This seems like exactly the kind of attempt to blame a single person rather than the system that the article is arguing against . Yes, the helicopter pilot was a major part of the series of mistakes that led to the crash, but there were ma

This is an insane thing to publish, and I can’t believe their legal team signed off on it. Save it for the courts.

Just want to say, thanks for writing this! It was lovely to read this expounding upon the depths and contours of the original statement. The point seemed so obvious when she expressed it that I skimmed right over it in my reading, but your

Can’t land a good partner on your own merits? Globalism means you can go to a poor country and find someone whose position on the “poverty vs living with this asshole” scale tips heavily in your favor! After all, why have a partner who love

Google seems inflated: I feel like the meaningful range is between 4.5 and 5 stars, so 4.5 stars is just okay, and as you get closer to 5 stars it’s more likely to be actually good. Yelp does not feel as inflated to me. Agree that NYC has g

Loved Tatsu-ya when I lived there. If you like Japanese food and you haven’t been yet, you should check out Asahi imports (on Burnet, not too far from Komé, which is also great, although I heard they [Asahi] also have a location in South Au

I have been too nervous to really try using the phone as a passenger in a car, but it has also activated for me on trains and planes, where I suffer less from motion sickness anyway. Not enough experience yet to say for sure whether they wo

Unrelated, but all I want is a letterboxd for books, with the light social aspect, the ability to log a read multiple times, and with a great interface. I read my hope for this into the title of this post, unfortunately.

I stopped being precious about mine after stripping and reseasoning some real gnarly ones from thrift stores. Knowing that I can always start fresh from zero made me worry less, and ironically worrying less has led to better seasoning over

That’s way more than I do with mine: hot water, nylon brush, throw it on the heat till dry, wipe with paper towel already oiled from constantly doing this. First use is always over easy egg, which doesn’t really even dirty the pan enough to

I love seeing all these posts from NixOS newcomers! It seems anecdotally like LLMs have really given it a boost recently, I guess by reducing the intimidation factor of the language and the unfamiliarity? Of all the positive and negative ou

I'm no AI booster by any stretch of the imagination, but it's not "run[ning] ... computer systems" in this case. Your NixOS setup is defined by declarative config files, and nix builds or updates a working system from th

I'm on year 6 and still feel the same way, using NixOS for all my machines, and also for my homelab servers (building on the main machine and then deploying over SSH). Everything else feels primitive by comparison. Rolling back is incr

Yes, reading this I was thinking about how many of these problems go away with a nix environment. Certainly not all of them, but it’s a great way to get a reproducible build environment that includes direct specification of system dependenc

I don’t know. I mean, I agree with you overall, but it seems like tons of engineers, especially here on HN, have been more than willing to go all-in on AI for at least the past year, with many dire warnings of “coding is a solved problem,
